More Insights
Built in 1973 (53 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1973, has received recent cosmetic updates including new luxury vinyl flooring downstairs, new carpet upstairs, fresh paint, and a newer stove, making it move-in ready. However, the kitchen features older laminate countertops and a dated refrigerator, and while bathrooms are updated, they are basic. The underlying infrastructure is over 50 years old, suggesting major systems may be functional but show signs of age and are not extensively renovated, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.

Cons
High Monthly HOA Fees: The association fee of $640 per month is substantial and adds significantly to the ongoing cost of homeownership.
Property Age: Built in 1973, the property is over 50 years old, which may suggest older underlying infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical) that could require future maintenance or upgrades beyond the recent cosmetic updates.
